This is a difficult song to classify or describe. Although it
sound like soft rock or easy listening, it's also got a bridge that kind of rocks into the stratosphere before it floats back down to earth once again. The guitar chords are very similar to the Allman Brother's "Sweet Melissa," but with the overlay of the strings, which is somewhat unique, you can't really hear that influence so much. It's definitely rock, definitely alternative, some have said it sounds like "Enigma," and I've also heard "Supertramp," and I'm sure everyone would hear something different in it. It could even be taken to be "religious" or "Christian," though I did not write it with that intent. Basically it's a nice piece with guitar, violin, lead and backup vocals, and only bass, no drum track.
Alan Lowenschuss, author, lead vocals, rhythm & lead guitar
Michael Donahoe, engineer, strings, bass guitar, backup vocals
Pls Note: Below is the "Story" I wrote for the video I posted on Youtube. The link to the video is:

This here's a video of a song my friend Mike Donahoe and I did recently, but the genesis of the song goes back to the early Nineties. I was living in Israel and writing a lot of songs usually conceiving, but not completing (the bane of the songwriter)... This was one concept that I felt deserved to be given more nurturing, and so I did. A few years later I did a couple of very amateurish recordings of it. Fast forward to almost ten years later. I meet Mike, and we begin recording some stuff, this one being just one of several. But we both see the potential of this particular song, and so again, we spend time with it. I have to say, though, that while I put in some hours, Mike put in countless hours engineering this song, including doing all of the parts other than the rhythm and lead guitar tracks (and even those, he was largely responsible for what you hear). Mike really took the original idea and he did fly with it...
Even though it might not sound like it, we never really finished this song. Especially the end it was just one idea that we tried, but then Mike decided he'd had enough, so we called it quits. Anyway, this was a labor of love, and it was labor intensive, as was the making of the video, which I'm not exactly entirely happy with, but I said I was going to finish before the year was out, and so I am. I may work on it again at some point, but for what it is a way of highlighting the song itself it does the trick... If you like the song and want to download it, go on iTunes and type in "The Al Love Experience" and the CD "Sunsmile" will come up. The name of
the song is "Love, Always," though we always just referred to it as "Always." It's a song of inspiration for those who are on the path of awakening to All that We Are, Can, Will, and must Be, realizing that All Will be Well, because All is fun
Just when the darkest doubts had crept into my mind
And I was sure I'd lost my way
You were a light that in the darkness shined
You gave me flight, all ways...
And now Always
Always
Always I will fly to what is good and true
Always I will love You

How many hours and days and ways to write a song?
Must be an infinity of ways
Is there wisdom in the thought that all of this is wrong...
And there is one?
Always
Always
Always I will fly the Golden Rays of the Sun
Always I will love you
One
Bridge: Always I will seek the Source
Always on a longer course
Steadfast never will I fail
And I say to you with all my might
From the depths to the heights
You give me flight
Always
Now no longer do I trust in temporalities
But in these tired old cliches
Beyond Shadowlight and all dualities
Love Shines Always
And Now Always
Always
Always
Always I will fly the wide wings of the Dove
Always I will love You
Love
Fadeout:
Always I will fly
Always I will fly
